Chapter 410: Chapter 276 Black Cat_2

"Stop him!" "He’s trying to escape!"

Black Cat turned a deaf ear to the shouts behind him; there must be a large number of bodyguards lying in ambush inside the villa. The situation behind him was already a dead end, his only way out... lay ahead!

"Bang!" "Crash!"

The floor-to-ceiling window in front was shattered by the "human shield" before him, and the two fell from the second floor.

"Bang!" Black Cat tumbled awkwardly off the already unconscious bodyguard beneath him.

"Brother, I apologize!" Black Cat, having landed safely, didn’t forget to pat the shoulder of the unfortunate guy.

As he had predicted, the ambush was all inside the villa.

Perhaps to lull him, the assassin, into a trap like a turtle in a jar, the villa’s external security was almost non-existent.

Black Cat took one last look at the luxury villa behind him, now brightly lit and bustling with noise.

Several bodyguards at the window of the second floor were gritting their teeth as if they wanted to jump down after him, while not far away, two more with flashlights were hurrying over.

Without any further hesitation, Black Cat made use of the walls to flip over the villa’s perimeter wall and then, following the emergency retreat route he had previously devised, quickly disappeared into the nearby residential buildings.

The dozen or so cursing bodyguards who followed behind him searched for nearly half an hour to no avail, failing to even spot a shadow of Black Cat, and could only return sullenly to report back.

...

Inside the villa.

"Useless! Incompetent! With so many people, you can’t even catch a single person; all that money spent on you, just for you to loaf around?"

Xu Jinbai, in his pajamas, spat furiously into the faces of several bodyguards.

Xu Bolin sat on the sofa, silent, his face ashen.

"We’re sorry, boss!" The bodyguards, hanging their heads, were full of shame.

"We didn’t expect the enemy to detect the ambush in advance and catch us off guard..."

"I don’t want excuses, I want results, and the result is you let him escape!

Where is Captain Fang? How come he’s not here, too ashamed to see us?"

"Captain Fang... he passed out from his injuries, was just taken to the hospital, might have a concussion..."

"I..."

"Enough!" Xu Bolin exclaimed coldly.

"Dad!" Seeing Xu Bolin’s anger, Xu Jinbai could only glare fiercely at the bodyguards before sitting down huffily.

"The person who came tonight is no ordinary person; surrounded by a dozen bodyguards, he still got away. Now that he has escaped, how can you possibly catch him? Forget it, let the police handle the capture."

"Alright! I’ll arrange for someone to report it to the police immediately! By the way, Dad, how did you seem to know in advance about today’s incident?" After calming down, Xu Jinbai asked suspiciously.

Xu Bolin glanced at his son and then waved his hand.

"All of you, get out!"

"Yes, boss!"

"Dad! What on earth is going on?"

"Jinbai, the one who came tonight... is most likely an assassin!"

"What? An assassin?!" Xu Jinbai exclaimed in shock.

He had thought it was just some greedy, audacious burglar, but how did assassins come into the picture?

But on second thought, how could anyone with those skills be a petty thief?

And it was clear that the intruder was heading straight for Xu Bolin’s bedroom...

Xu Jinbai tensed up immediately.

He was certainly not stupid. If someone wanted to kill his father at this time, then the most likely suspects were...

"Dad! Are you saying Xu Bonian and Xu Jingsong, father and son, are trying to kill you?"

"Hmph! Who else could it be?

However, that old man Xu Bonian and I have lived together for decades, and although we can’t stand each other, we still show some courtesy. I doubt he would stoop to hiring someone to kill me."

"So, it was Xu Jingsong? That bastard! He actually dares to use such tactics, I... I’ll go settle the score with him right now!"

Xu Jinbai, uncontrollably furious, stood up agitatedly.

"Sit down!" Xu Bolin ordered sternly.

"Without any proof, what are you going to use to confront him?"

"Then... then I’ll find someone to kill him right now!"

"Come back!"

Xu Jinbai sat down again, his face flushed red, "Dad! How dare he do this? Has he gone mad?"

"Heh! What wouldn’t a man bereft of hope dare to do? There are two most dangerous kinds of people in this world.

One is the ordinary person who sees hope, the other is the desperate madman..."

As he spoke, Xu Bolin’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

About that rumor concerning Xu Jingsong, although he was not the one who spread it, he had certainly heard it.

Although Xu Bonian had already personally clarified within the family, the medical diagnosis still made many people quietly speculate.

They wondered whether the Xu Group’s first in line for succession really had no descendants.

For them, this was superb news.

After all, someone had to inherit the Xu family’s enterprise, and if Xu Jingsong had no offspring, even if Xu Bonian and his son were strong, they would eventually have to relinquish control of the Xu Group.

Their chances weren’t necessarily one hundred percent, but they were definitely the biggest beneficiaries!

"It seems that Xu Jingsong must have taken us father and son for the ones spreading the news..."

Xu Bolin’s expression was quite grim.

He had been worried about this when the news first came out.

Now that the assassin had reached his very bedroom, he could almost be certain of his suspicions; otherwise, Xu Jingsong wouldn’t have lost his senses.

The rage in his heart couldn’t be suppressed, fearing Xu Jingsong was feeling the same way.

After all... having such a thing exposed would be enough to cause psychological issues for any man.

Why have eunuchs throughout history often been twisted?

Apart from their physical condition, the scorn and contempt from others were critical factors.

In desperation, it’s not strange for someone to take crazy actions.

While Xu Bolin was angry, he was also quite frustrated.

He was effectively bearing the brunt for whoever had spread the news...

Thinking this, Xu Bolin couldn’t help but shoot a glare at his son.

"I told you before, to not provoke Xu Jingsong during this period, yet you actually went to his office to mock him? Don’t you know even a cornered rabbit will bite?"

"I... I just subtly hinted at him that day, who knew the guy would be so sensitive now."

Xu Jinbai, knowing he was in trouble, replied with an embarrassed look, noticing his father’s anger had not subsided, he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, dad, how did you find out that someone was going to kill you?"

"Hmm... someone warned me in advance," Xu Bolin said with a complex look in his eyes.

"Hm? Who’s so kind-hearted?"

"Kind-hearted? Hmph, not necessarily!"

Xu Bolin snorted.

The way the warning was given made him involuntarily recall the two anonymous tips he had received not long ago...

If it was the same person...

Their intention might not be to save his life at all, but simply to mess with Xu Jingsong!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

They just wanted to exploit the conflict between him and Xu Jingsong, instigating infighting within the Xu family!

He was almost certain now, that a mysterious figure was scheming against Xu Jingsong from the shadows!

Perhaps a business competitor, or maybe a hidden enemy.

They may not necessarily have good intentions!

But... recognizing it was one thing, rejecting it was another.

Not to mention the conflict between him and Xu Jingsong was almost irreconcilable. Even if they were willing to sit down and explain, with Xu Jingsong’s current mental state, he might not believe what he said.

This pawn, Xu Bolin, had no choice but to play the role, whether he wanted to or not...

"Damn it! If only we could have caught the assassin today!" Xu Jinbai lamented.

"Hmph! The one who came was just a hired gun; even if caught, it’s doubtful he’d reveal anything.

"What do we do now? Just endure it?"

"Endure? I was too lenient back in the day, which allowed that Xu Bonian to rise to power!

This time, even if it costs me this old frame, I’ll make that Xu Jingsong learn, I, Xu Bolin, am not so easily provoked!"

Xu Bolin’s gaze was dark.

...

Meanwhile.

In an alley near the villa, a middle-aged uncle carrying a laptop bag, wearing square glasses and somewhat balding, quietly emerged.

In the underworld, there’s a saying that after midnight, those who walk the streets are either thieves or programmers.

The character before you looked more like a pathetic corporate drone blessed with 007’s fortune.

A street corner security camera slowly rotated and caught a glint of moonlight.

The middle-aged man got a feeling, looked back over his shoulder, found nothing, and continued on his way.

"The information actually got leaked... Could the employer be behind it? That’s illogical..."

The vengeful Black Cat had no idea that he was now being watched by an Electronic Ghost...
